A depraved Connecticut middle school guidance counselor, who allegedly sent nudes and gave lapdances to a 13-year-old student, was pictured for the first time since her July arrest Tuesday as she left court.

Luisa Melchionne, 47, is facing multiple charges for an alleged sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student that was uncovered by authorities months after a male friend of Melchionne found raunchy messages that “appeared sexual in nature” on her phone, according to an arrest warrant affidavit reported on by the Norwalk Hour.

The messages also included explicit photos of Melchionne, a married mother of three, and money transactions, according to the police document.

When reached by police, the teen told investigators he received nude photos from Melchionne and payments for Uber rides, food and $100 around Christmas last year, according to the affidavit also reported on by NBC Connecticut.

The student also said that the teacher performed “lapdances” and other sexual acts with him, the affidavit states, according to the two outlets.

The New Canaan resident was pictured leaving Connecticut Superior Court in Stamford following a hearing on Tuesday with her attorney, Mark Sherman, who refused to comment for The Post.

While I don't like the disparity in sentencing between men and women, I still hope she gets off lightly.

She has 3 kids. Her life doesn't deserve to be destroyed over this. Losing her job would be enough of a "lesson".

Evidence supports a disparity in sentencing.

It also supports not criminalizing AMSC with adolescents altogether, or at least 16/12.
